This online project of the First Parish and the First Church in Cambridge (Unitarian Universalist) is based on research concerning some representative women and men who made significant contributions to life in the quarter-century 1936-1961. This period runs from the time of a report, Unitarians Face a New Age, to the beginning of the Unitarian Universalist Association.

Appreciation is due to the Unitarian Universalist Funding Program, Boston, for funds facilitating this work, and to the first Notable Cosponsors: The First and Second Church of Boston, The First Parish in Cambridge, and Unity Church - Unitarian in St. Paul, MN. Project advisors are Gloria Korsman, Andover-Harvard Theological Library; Conrad Edick Wright, Massachusetts Historical Society; and Conrad Wright, Harvard Divinity School.
